Two Little Boys
Two little boys had two little toys, Each had a wooden horse;
Daily they'd play, happy and gay, Soldiers, both, of course.
Now one little chap had a mishap,
Broke off his horse's head,
Wept for his toy, then cried for joy, When his comrade said:
"Did you think I could leave you crying, When there's room on my horse for you? Climb up here Jack, don't be sighing;
He can run just as fast with two.
"One day we will be grown up soldiers And we'll both have a family too,
And I wonder if you'll remember When we were two little boys?"
